THE Inspector General of Police, IGP, Solomon Arase, has faulted the claims that over 500 persons were killed in Agatu area of Benue State.



Arase, while speaking at the investigative hearing organised by the House of Representatives committee on the killings in Benue State said only three persons were killed.

Recall that Arase had during his visit to the state, where he stopped in Makurdi, claimed that he did not see 300 graves, contrary to the claim by the people of the area that more than 300 persons were killed by the herdsmen.

While the Benue people testified that 500 Agatu people were killed and the NSCDC said it was 300, the IGP maintained that only three people were killed, and said even though 18 people had been arrested in connection with the killings, there was no sufficient evidence to prosecute them.

He said his professional calling would not allow him to reveal all he was doing in the case, but that he had engaged all the parties in the crisis with a view to achieving peace. He said that paucity of funds, shortage of personnel, logistics and technology, were impeding police’s efforts in the crisis.

“We have apprehended some persons, may be investigation is rather slow. You must be able to assemble sufficient evidence to prosecute them. I don’t just want to prosecute people without securing conviction,” Arase stated.

He appealed to the people to be patient with them, saying, “It is not as if we are not doing anything.”

The IGP told the committee that he has also lost men in the crisis, which had rendered women widows and children orphans in their barracks.

The committee, concluded that it would hold further hearing with those from Agatu and the Idoma, as well as have the Benue State Commissioner of Police testify on the crisis.

Why are u lying,o my gosh,stop the fvckin lying

Useless IGP, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the Agatus that could not organise themselves and retaliate into the heart of the Fulani land (if they ever had any anyway), before commencing dialogue.

He who inflicts the greater damage dictates the tone on the negotiation table.

Like lai muhd,like buhari like arase

one set of homo sapiens

The useless man said bodies should have been brought to the police station to be counted.

A simple call to anarchy.

Communities that have raised or planning to raise their own millitias or vigilante now have enough justifiction to that since the police cannot protect them & even deny when they are attacked.

Hmmm.

Its either this man smokes wet weed or is constantly living in denial.

this is how they lie to U.S government and serving false information to U.S COURTS and investigation's against Nigerian citizen,



show who love NIGERIANS ? Nigeria government has participated in the deportation and benefit denial of NIGERIAN citizen in the USA .


why are we in the same COUNTRY ? a country that can not represent you internationally but furnish ethnic lies to ruin your life . . evil country called NIJIRYA .

Three is too much naa! Only 1 and half humans were killed!
#ndiara

This information is incorrect and unreliable.

A fellow edo man disgracing himself.

Guy... Be careful of what you say if you love your job. Buhari said they were Libyans and your calling them herdsmen?

Oga Arase d 3 lives lost in na fowl own?

This is a stupid man lying for his master at the detriment of citizens life he's expected to protect.

Waoh!! So 3 human living beings are ONLY!! The man is something I don't have a name for!!!

Beremx:
Is it not high time Buhari sacked this man?

He will retire soon anyway, we can endure..

oga igp so 7 people are not human abi

I notice how the outrage that usually follows such statements has greatly reduced.
When someone who should take offence at injustice is silent for no apparent reason, people should quickly find out why.
That quiet before a hurricane-
This is the time to be terrified...

The useless IGP is even proud to announce that only 3 persons was killed...

it's high time ortom and the people of agatu go the fayose way, since the IGP can't protect them from "libyans" killing them in 100s...SMH

What ever runs through the vain of a father will also run in the vains of his children.

APC/Buhari has influenced the NPF to now tell lies. The fact that they influence Judicial functions is not enough for them.

Smh for this contraption called Nigeria

I begin to wonder why nigeria is plagued with incompetent IGP's...

And those supposedly three people were not humans but bedroom furniture shebi?
